Weight Loss – The week in review
It’s weigh in Friday! Total weight loss this week is….800g. It’s good, I was initially disappointed at not seeing a weight under 82 which would have meant a 1kg or more loss but it’s not far off. If I keep this rate up of 800g a week I would reach my ultimate goal weight of 61.4kg towards the end of July…this year! When you look at it like that it’s not that hard is it? 
I CAN do this!
Even if I went down to only losing 400g per week I would still reach ultimate goal weight in 52 weeks so this time next year and still in time for the wedding
Anyway back to my progress this week…
Monday and Tuesday started off well I ate well, I exercised both nights at the gym and drank a good amount of water. Wednesday was when it started to fall apart a bit. I had Subway for lunch which isn’t terrible it was a 6 inch Chicken Teriyaki on wheat bread with swiss cheese, lettuce, cucumber and carrot and the sweet onion sauce – no mayo! That’s always been my weakness in the past, having mayo on my subway. Anyway, the worst came when my aunty dropped in a bag of Willy Wonka red licorice and a couple of cans of red bull. I thought I could get away with only having a piece as a treat but you know how it goes, it’s there, it’s easy. Sigh.
I didn’t go to the gym Wednesday night but I did go for a walk to the park with mum and the boy. Thursday and Friday lunches were either non existent or eaten on the way home after work…not good I know. Something I need to work on.
It’s only the first week back and I haven’t had any takeaways and apart from the red licorice and a couple of pieces of cooking chocolate (not the nicest but I needed a choc hit, I did limit myself to only 2 pieces) last night I have done pretty well Staying positive about things that’s the key.
Did I tell you what I did at the gym on Tuesday? No? I booked in for a Power Plate session with a PT (personal trainer).

Power Plate is supposed to have a lot of great benefits for weight loss as well as your general health. According to the website it can help increase muscle strength and tone, flexibility and balance. It also claims to increase blood circulation and metabolism, which of course we all know is the key to losing weight, is getting that metabolism sorted.
So that’s this week, it’s the weekend tomorrow which includes dinner out at my father in law’s, a BBQ I think so hopefully nothing bad!
Stay tuned for an update on the wedding planning
